  • The Stamp Act
  • How will I keep up my Sunday card games now? The prices are so expensive for cards, and the dice too! I find it ridiculous that I must pay for a stamp for EVERY piece of paper I use!
  • Well, this could help the colonies to save resources. You do want your home to benefit, correct? Plus, maybe it'll help get rid of that gambling addiction of yours, sir.
  • The Quartering Act
  • How could the British make us house their troops? We barely have enough to provide for ourselves, how will we provide for a soldier we don't even need?
  • Well, we could help as defense against the Indians, and make sure you stay out of trouble while at it. Now, make sure my soup is warm, won't be eating it cold after all!
  • The Townshend Acts
  • How will I be able to host my Sunday tea parties? I only make so much working and can't afford as much as when the prices were lower.
  • You should feel you have it better off, sir. Those British back home are paying heftier taxes than the colonists over here. Pay up now, will you? I haven't all day.
  • The Stamp Act was created by Prime Minister George Grenville. The law was passed in 1765, and stated that colonists were to purchase a stamp for every piece of paper used. This included legal documents, paper products, playing cards, and dice. This was due to the fact that the colonists were the least taxed group under British rule, so Britain used these stamps as a way to raise taxes for the colonies. The way that this law was enforced was by printing everything that was made with paper on specific stamp paper.
  • The Boston Massacre
  • The Quartering Act was passed by British parliament in 1765.This act stated that colonists were to house British troops and pay for their needs. This was a way for Britain to keep their troops in the colonies while also worrying less about their funds. This happened by not allowing the colony assembly to meet until the act was followed by the colonists.
  • The Boston Tea Party
  • What you're doing makes no sense! The prices of tea are being lowered and yet you still decide to throw it all out. Not to mention the polluting. What a waste!
  • The Townshend Acts were passed by Charles Townshend in 1767. The act stated that certain items imported from Britain were to be taxed in the colonies like glass, tea, lead, paper, and paint. This act was passed due to Townshend’s belief that British troops should stay in the colonies, and they needed funding to do so, making the colonists a source of that funding
  • The Intolerable Acts
  • There are troops everywhere I look! This is an invasion of my rights! The British parliament is just abusing their power.
  • We wouldn't all be here if you colonists hadn't been acting up and throwing tea into the Boston Harbor. It serves you right.
  • The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5th, 1770, between a group of Boston colonists, and a small group of British troops. During the event, Boston colonists threw rocks and snow at troops and pressed towards them in provocation which caused the troops to open fire at the crowd. This was due to the agitation in Boston colonists with the British and the fact that these troops were there to keep them in order. Although the British claimed the shootings to be in self-defense, the colonists painted it as the killing of innocent people, which soured the relationship between America and Britain even further.
  • You're killing innocent people, yet you get let off the hook easily because of Britain's bias towards their own soldiers.
  • We have the right to shoot in the name of self-defense. You colonists are the ones who provoked us first by throwing rocks and snow.
  • The Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16th, 1773, by a group called the Sons of Liberty in Boston. It was an event where the Sons of Liberty poured 90000 pounds of tea into the Boston harbor by dressing as Mohawk Indians as to not be questioned. This was due to the fact that Lord North wanted to save the British East India company from going broke, so he lowered the price of teas which became known as the Tea Act. However, the patriots knew that it was a way to tax the colonies without their consent yet again.
  • It is not a waste. The British are still taxing us without representation. We should have a say in the new laws and acts. No taxation without representation!
  • The Intolerable Acts were a set of new rules passed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1774, by Lord North, King George III, and British parliament. It stated, the Boston Harbor would be closed to all shipping until the lost tea was paid for, the government of Massachusetts was to be under British control, and British troops that were accused of murder would have their trials held in England and not the colonies. In addition, many more troops were sent from Britain to enforce the acts. This was due to the fact that the British parliament (more specifically King George III) thought that their control over the colonies was lacking, and something needed to be done.
